uimenu — Create a menu or a submenu in a figure
h=uimenu([prop1,val1] [,prop2, val2] ...) h=uimenu(parent,[prop1, val1] [,prop2, val2] ...)
integer Handle of menu's parent
string character name of a property to set up
scilab object value to affect to the corresponding property
integer handle of the corresponding menu
This allows to create menus in a figure. If
parent is a figure, then the menu item will be added to
the menu bar of the figure. If parent is a menu item ,
then the new item will be added to the parent item, allowing to create
cascaded submenu. To create a customized menu, you can use the properties
listed below:
String
Instruction evaluated by the Scilab interpreter when the menu is activated. Under MacOSX, the callback will not be executed for a "button menu" (a menu without children), you must specify at least a child.
{on} | off
Enable or disable the menu. If this property is set to
"on" (default), the menu is operational, but if
this property is set to "off", the menu will not
respond to the mouse actions and will be grayed out.
{on} | off
Menu check indicator. Setting this property to "on" (respectively "off") places (respectively removes) a check mark next to the corresponding menu item. This option can be used to create menus that indicate the state of a particular option.
Please note that a standard menu (without the option "Checked" set) has no mechanism to become a menu which will be checked by a user action and conversely.
This property is ignored for parent menus.
[1,3] real vector or string
Foreground color of the uimenu (font color). A color is specified as Red, Green and Blue values. Those values are real in [0,1]. The color can be given as a real vector, ie [R,G,B] or a string where each value is separated by a "|", ie "R|G|B".
String.
This property represents the text appearing in the menu.
String
This property is generally used to identify the menu. It
allows to give it a "name". Mainly used in conjunction with
findobj().
{on} | off
Set the visibility of the uimenu. If this property is set to "on" (default), the uimenu is visible,
but if this property is set to "off", the uimenu will not appear in its parent figure.
f=figure('position', [10 10 300 200]);
// create a figure
m=uimenu(f,'label', 'windows');
// create an item on the menu bar
m1=uimenu(m,'label', 'operations');
m2=uimenu(m,'label', 'quit scilab', 'callback', "exit");
//create two items in the menu "windows"
m11=uimenu(m1,'label', 'new window', 'callback',"xselect()");
m12=uimenu(m1,'label', 'clear window', 'callback',"clf()");
// create a submenu to the item "operations"
close(f);
// close the figure
